So Our Leaders Can Be Stupid?

Obasanjo was in office as President of Nigeria and he got an invitation from the Queen to visit her in England. One afternoon, while drinking tea, he asked the Queen the secret of her success. She told him that she relies on her people a lot and therefore she must be certain that they are intelligent. She decided to show him ...exactly what she meant and phoned Tony Blair.

"Now listen carefully, Mr. Obasanjo, I'm going to ask Mr. Blair to determine his intelligence."
Queen: "Oh! hello Mr. Blair, I have a question for you: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child. This child is not your brother and is not your sister. Who is he?

Tony Blair: "It's ME!"

Queen: "Correct! Thank you, bye"

"Did you get that Mr. Obasanjo?" The Queen asked.

Obasanjo: "Yes, thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"

Once back in Nigeria he decided that he has doubts about Ibrahim Mantu and he's going to ask him the question. He arranged a meeting with him and asked him: "Mantu I have a question for you. Your mother has a child and your father has a child. The child is not your brother and is not your sister, who is he?"

Mantu thinks... and thinks, "Em... you must give me some time to think about it."

And Mr. Obasanjo decided 2 give him a day to come out with an answer. That afternoon, Mantu called a meeting to discuss the question, but NOBODY knew the answer. They drew up a Mantu family tree, but 2 no avail.

The next morning, he realized he had to give Obasanjo an answer and as a last resort, he decided 2 phone Jerry Rawlings, former president of Ghana. "Jerry, your mother has a child and your father has a child. The child is not your brother and is not your sister, who is he?" Jerry answers immediately. "Hey, Mantu, It's me of course, you dumb Nigerian!"

Mantu rushed to Obasanjo's office very impressed 2 know the answer to such a difficult question. "Mr. President, I know who he is! It’s Jerry Rawlings!"

Obasanjo: "Jerry Rawlings ko, Jerry Gana ni. You are such a stupid senator. I'll make sure you're removed from office. The child is TONY BLAIR!"
